Custom hero icons

[opal adder]

I don't really know how to set icons for new heroes. I have custom heroes that don't replace others, and I don't know how to set icons for them in the pick stage and at the top.

somewhere in panorama

There's too much stuff there, it's impossible to find anything.

Find top hud and set icon when you custom hero preselected or already selected in pick stage and same way for hud when game started

How did you add custom heroes without replacing an original hero?

Make a new hero entry with a new unique ID using another hero as BaseClass

Download my custom game "Dota Mega Boss Reborn", I made 3 unique heroes without using a dota hero slot

4 custom heroes in reality, but my Aghanim hero is bugged so I disabled him

Sadly, my script that show the hero icon on hero selection stage stopped working, but after heroes spawns the top bar icons are working

Some of the fixes I made require brutal force, so once Valve update and change any panorama script, it's doom to fail. For example I think Largo is missing some icons cause I haven't update the files yet. What lasts longer is a complete overhaul of the panorama, but that is a lot of work

Thats why Im creating my own custom hero selection. I was using dota default, chsnging position with GetChilTraverse() and setting styles, but each update, valve broke my code. So I started to creating my own. It’s not that hard, just take some time.

True. I revived the panorama work of Captains Mode from the classic Dota Imba, and I was thinking of making a github repository for the community with just this scripts

It need more changes, since it is very dependent of manual work if the game add a new hero or change their main attribute.
